COPA/COPPA compliance and Drupal sites

This wiki page is a place for comments and links that are helpful for making Drupal sites compliant with the US COPA and COPPA laws. Please add your reviews of contributed modules and links to site recipes.

User registration

In A Blueprint For a Site For Young Readers, Bill Fitzerald wrote:

COPPA: this requires some custom development. We actually have some COPPA code that we worked on a while back that we need to dust off, clean up, and release. At its most basic, we need to branch the registration process, with all users under 13 directed to get their parent, or (alternately) to enter their parent's email address. The specifics would need to be vetted with legal counsel.

Not long afterwards, Jeff Graham contributed a COPPA module.

Deleting accounts

For parents to be able to delete accounts, there are the User Cancellation and User Delete modules. More information about the issue of users deleting their own accounts can be found at http://drupal.org/node/8
